About PDF-Tools

PDF Tools for Claude Desktop and Local MCP Hosts The local PDF workflow for Claude Desktop and MCP hosts: fill, sign, merge, split, extract, render, and analyze PDFs with local file operations. Instead of just opening a PDF, PDF Tools lets Claude fetch PDF URLs to your machine, inspect documents visually, fill forms, save reusable profiles, add signature/date zones, merge and split files, reorganize pages visually, extract structured data, and return document content to your chosen MCP host for analysis. This package targets Claude Desktop and other local MCP hosts today.
